Hello all, I am new to the Lucene scene and have a few questions regarding the term boost physolophy:
Is the term boost equal to a term weight? Example: If I boost a term with 0.2 does this mean the term has a weight of 0.2 then? If this is not the case, how is the term weight of the query calculated then? Formula? Are there parts in it which I cannot influence? Does this formular depend on the type of Query or is it independent. Maybe somebody can provide a small code example? Give the following code: TermQuery termQuery1 = new TermQuery(new Term("contents", "house")); TermQuery termQuery2 = new TermQuery(new Term("contents", "tree")); termQuery2.setBoost( ? ); BooleanQuery finalQuery = new BooleanQuery(); finalQuery.add(termQuery1, true, false); finalQuery.add(termQuery2, true, false); How can I realise that the term "tree" is double as important for search than "house"? Many questions I know but I am sure that the experts here can answer them easily.
